Steps:
-I came in a minute or two after my group had claimed Kutharei, they had already obtained the hint for the Red Trigger which was Lightning.
-Obtained hint for Blue Trigger which was Great Axe.
-Warrior was away from the computer so I used a scroll of instant warp to Port Jeuno and changed my subjob to warrior, and equipped the Pitchfork +1 halloween event item.
-Returned and equipped Atma of the Sea Daughter, Voracious Violet, and Apocalypse as well as Cruor stat buffs.
-Warrior returns and starts working on Blue trigger with Great Axe.
-Used Conflux 1 to go to Conflux 7, re-entered the gate to where Kutharei resides.
-Engaged Kutharei and proceeded to use Raiden's Thrust.
-After several failed attempts at getting the Blue Trigger with a Great Axe the Warrior equips a spear and proceedes to join me spamming Raiden's Thrust to obtain the Atma, and a second warrior joins shortly after doing the same.
-Ended up killing Kutharei after spamming Raiden's Thrust about 15 or so times between us with no successful Triggering.

To be clear, we ha killed other NM's prior to Kutherai earlier that night with no issues getting any Triggers what so ever. And even went for the most optimal time to land a weaponskill, inbetween it's attacks like you would with Shinryu just to be sure.
